Hoping these guys can help take care of the aphids
on the chinense plants in the greenhouse and wilds
in the grow shelf. I like Nature’s Good Guys because
you can get as few as 150 ladybugs at a time. This is
a package of 300. Looks like just about are all frisky
and ready to go:

Way to go Paul, bringing in the big guns! Hope your aphid issue is resolved quickly, seems like a common issue right now for several people here.
 
That fence shelf looks great, hopefully we'll get some good spring/summer here in the PNW.

Is it too early ,in the season,for volunteer ladybugs and such , to start their work ,eh[emoji848].

Probably a tad early, Bryan. The long range
forecast looks decent, but I've been down
that road before. I have seen quite a few
ladybug love zests in the garage and green-
house, so maybe there is hope. I still see a
ladybug or two on the fence shelf plants.

Thanks, HM! Hoping we get our wishes fulfilled
this season.

I love the fence shelf. That's really cool.
 
 

 

[CaneDog]

+1.  Very cool.  Does it offer some protection from the sun for hardening off?

 

[Tybo]

+2.......I like that fence shelf.  I may have to borrow that design for a section of fence here!

Thanks, CD. The shade cloth is either 30 or 40 percent.
Can't remember what I ordered. They are just hung
on hooks, so can remove on cloudy days, or for some
for some more rigorous hardening off time.

Thanks, Ty. It's sort of a jury rig. The superstructure
is just knocked together out of 1x2. I need to replace
a couple of the framing pieces that have rotted in the
past 8-10 years or so!

It even has a sneeze guard [emoji16][emoji106][emoji1787].

Just downloaded some new 64 bit software for my
Canoscan 9000F, so thought I'd try it out on these
original records from my Round One seeds:
 

 

 
Orange highlights = first hook
Pink highlights = transplant

Good on ya Paul for getting the plants outside They will love you for it.
That and you can hose the dang Aphids off now.
You know...you're the reason I put mine outside so early this year. I figure yours do well in the cooler temps, so mine should make it.
I think I've let them sit inside too long the last few grows.
 I would also like to add that I feel larger plants handle the cooler temps better than the smaller ones.
 
It's 93° ATM, (65° yesterday), want some?

I don’t know if I can handle that kind of pressure, my friend.

If the long-range forecast holds true, it will be a
decent decision, Scott. If not, then I’m a goat     
Temps look like they should be mostly in the 60s
and 70s through May. Then, if we can avoid the June
Suck, it might be a good situation 
 
You know, even in the summer our average nighttime 
temperatures are in the mid 50s, so the plants have to
be able to tolerate some cooler nights once in awhile.
 
I agree that mature plants handle the weather variations 
Much better. I always wonder how seedlings that grow
up in the sunny weather seem to adapt with no problem.

 

[PaulG]

Only two plants on the grow shelf at the time.
 
Really liking Devv’s Sugar Rush Cream. In a
one-quart container with pods about the size
of large grapes:

 
CGN 24360, BB Habanero, from catchthebear. 
Really nice growth habit and loaded with flowers.
Probably should go outside soon. In a quart container:

very kool Paul, didn’t realize that you were growing sugar rush cream too. Gives me a sneak peak as to what’s to come

Did you get your Sugar Rush Cream seeds from Devv?
 
Your weather sounds pretty/too warm. When our weather
is at its best, we run 75-85 days and 60+ at night,
sometimes a bit cooler.

no I got mine from the local guy Brian because you all seem to rave about them so I figured why not. Yeah it’s a little too hot I’d say but that’s the trade off for 70s & low 80’s thru winter. Your weather is my favorite for summer so enjoy it for me 

 

[Essegi]

I hope those ladybugs do their work... I guess  they should be pleasd to do that.
Plants look super as always. Last one is mind blowing.

First time for me, as well.
 
I can't wait to try one of those bite-sized pods!

There are a few ladybugs still hanging around
in the greenhouse and in the garage. I'd give
a spray with insecticidal soap, but don't want
to kill them or smother any eggs they have laid.
I kind of wonder if I should have put them out
after a week or two from putting NEEM in the
soil. I wonder if they get affected when they
eat the aphids. Most of my plants are clear, but
some have a ton of dead aphids on them. Pretty
ugly.

 

[Devv]

I think you'll like the Sugar Rush Paul, we call it a salad pepper here...
 
The BB Habanero has a fantastic growth habit, I see Bonchi all over that mini tree

How does the pod phenotype compare to
the Sugar Rush Cream you grew last season?

 

[Ghost Pepper Revolution]

Right there with ya bro, those pods gonna be yummy I bet.

Loving that fence box setup Paul, I think I'm +3, +4 or +5 on that!  Plants are looking great and can't believe how many peppers they are busting out.  I was able to get my single SRP seed to germinate and I am hoping it grows true (got it from WHP).
